We packed up, and finally hit the road like a herd of turtles Saturday afternoon! We have much to be thankful for to be able to take this week long vacation. Uncle Danny for letting us use his time share in Galvaston, Grammy & Pa for letting us use their Excursion and Becky for house/dog sitting for us.
We didn't head straight to Galvaston, but detoured through Corsicana for softball practice first. It was Carli's softball team practicing but Ava geared up and practiced with them. We told Ava to just do the fielding drills and not worry about hitting. But first, we had to take a before picture because nothing says sisters like a little sibling rivalry!
This is their before picture all nice and clean...now who would be the dirtiest at the end of the day?!
Well, it was kind of hard to say! Ava did a great job hanging with those older girls. She slid and dove with the best of them and Keith said Carli upped her game too! Ava earned the name "mini me" from coach Ricky and stayed on the field the entire 4 hr practice! And in Avas words, no matter how much she dove, slid and rolled the dirt just slid right off her!! We agreed the girls tied...
But if you really wanted to know who got the dirtiest during a 4 hr practice...Drew took that prize hands down.
After practice and some dinner and one long pit stop we finally made it to Galvaston...at 1 am. Surprisingly, Drew, Ava and Carli stayed awake til we got here and were in good spirits. Maggie screamed most of the way...have I ever mentioned how stubborn and strong willed my children are?
We made in bed by 2:30 am and everyone slept hard in anticipation of the fun week to come!!
